You don't even have to look at this article. I was just there, so figured I would write something.
This is the report from Junior lunch, I don't know what happened during Senior lunch.
Stamford's cafeteria was buzzing with excitement during lunch on Wednesday November the 17th for the "Gender Wars Pizza Lunch". Student council provided two pieces of pizza, one cookie and one can of soda to students who payed $3. All students had the opportunity to sign up for the second "Gender Wars" of the year. One guy and one girl faced off in the ultimate match: to put on a frozen t-shirt. The two contestants twisted, slammed and pulled in attempts to unravel the frozen t-shirt. The shirts were frozen solid and it didn't seem possible that they could be put on. The war nearly ended in a standstill but the girls pulled through and pulled their t-shirt on to earn a Win for the females.

Grade Eight Day
Encompassed By Future Prospects?
Wednesday November the third was grade eight day at Stamford Collegiate High School. Students from elementary schools in the area arrived and filed into the gym with new "Stamford" teeshirts for their welcome assembly. Banners sporting the names of each school and their colours shone above the orange and black bleachers. The choir started the assembly off with a bang, singing "Don't Stop Believing". Mr Azzopardi introduced each school and each in turn cheered loudly. These kids all have great spirit so hopes are that they will come to Stamford Nation for grade nine. Speaking about all the fantastic clubs and opportunities to get involved in at Stamford was student president, Joelle. (Is it spelled like that?)
A Stamford Collegiate spirit video was shown to the students. It featured the Hornet Mascot dancing in the hallway and students displaying Stamford spirit. Stamford Cheerleaders ran into a chorus of cheers from the feeder schools. They cheered and demonstrated some stunts then got the crowd involved in a Stamford chant.
Mr. Azzopardi spoke a bit about high school to the students. "Look around. See all the people around you? You will make friends with people from other schools and by grade twelve you will have lots of friends." He spoke about the big day; graduation day, which led into a graduation video featuring students singing and dancing to "What I Like About You" by The Kinks.
Vice Principal Mrs Burns welcomed students and talked a bit about what is called Stamford Nation: "What is Stamford Nation? We are Stamford nation because all of the people here..."
After the assembly the students were divided up into eighteen groups. They were intermixed with students from other schools in order to encourage socialisation with unfamiliar people and to meet new friends. The groups went to the cafeteria to eat lunch then enjoyed tours around the building. Overall it was a very noteworthy day, and much thanks is given to all those who were involved in making this special day a success.
